Ahead of more snow and even chillier temperatures this weekend, the Henry County Sheriff's Department is prepared.

Sheriff Danny Cravens said he'll beef up manpower and patrolling hours on the roadways.

That way the department will be able to cover the rural county of 16,000 during frigid weather.

Cravens said residents don't always have neighbors to depend on, so many are counting on them.

“Occasionally have to check on elderly people out in the rural areas. Sometimes (there are) long driveways and they might be long and might not get plowed, so (we) have to go through rural areas and check on them,” said Cravens.

Cravens also encouraged residents in Henry County to pack an emergency winter kit in case they find themselves stranded.
